The engineer stretched a finger toward the point of rocks across the cañon. "Right above the Cat's Paw."
"Tell Bill Dancing to cut in the wrecking instrument and put an operator over there for Glover's orders," directed Blood, turning to Smith Young.
"I'm off for something to eat," said Callahan, "and by the way, what shall I tell Bucks about the chances?"
"Can you get Ed Smith's outfit?" asked Glover, speaking to Blood. "Well, I know you can—Ed's a Denver man." He meditated another moment; "We need his whole outfit, mind you."
"I'll get it or resign. If I succeed, when can you get a train through?"
"By midnight." Callahan staggered. Glover raised his finger. "If you back off the ledge they will need a new general superintendent."
"By midnight?"
"I think so."
"You can't get your rock in by that time?"
"I reckon."
